Setting up RCON on a Soulmask server provides administrators with remote management. It allows direct command-line access to the server, enabling admins to execute a wide range of commands without needing to be logged directly into the game or the server panel itself. This capability is invaluable for moderating players by kicking or banning, adjusting server settings on the fly, broadcasting messages to all connected players, or triggering specific in-game events.

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Startup tab.

4. Ensure the Enable RCON table is set to Enabled.

5. On the RCON Password table, copy the password.

6. Go to the Files tab.

7. Find the following directory: /home/container/WS/Saved/Config/LinuxServer .

8. Open Engine.ini.

9. Under [Server.SafeIP], add the IP to whitelist on a new line.

IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Note: Look up IP here. Do not remove the first set IP.

10. Press the Save button.

11. Start the server.

12. Go to the Console tab.

13. Copy the RCON IP and Port at the top of the logs.

14. Launch the RCON client. rcon-cli is used in this example.

15. Input the RCON IP and Port from step 13.

16. Paste the RCON password from step 5.

17. Enter help to view the list of RCON commands.
